If your FOID is revoked (or renewal declined) for any reason you are required to surrender the FOID but also to dispossess yourself of any firearms or ammo in your possession. Now the county sheriff (who is like most county pols, a machine tool) is going full force into the suburbs.
Note that some revocations are reasonable and proper, but the person affected really has no options about their firearms; it doesn't matter if the revocation was in fact a mistake or error; you have to get rid of your now prohibited firearms and ammo even if you are working to appeal the revocation. Having friends who still have FOIDs or are nearby out of state can be very necessary.
Some due process...
